Synopsis
When the Christmas season finds Eden in Summer Harbor, Maine, she’s on the run from trouble. Romance is the last thing on her mind.
Riding in a bus in the thickly falling snow, Eden Davis wonders how it ever came to this—fleeing under cover of night with young Micah sleeping fitfully in the seat beside her. When a winter storm strands them in Summer Harbor, Maine, Eden wonders if what might have been the end could be a new beginning.
Beau Callahan is a habitual problem-solver. He’s recently left his job with the sheriff’s department to take over the family Christmas tree farm to save it from insolvency. But he’s flummoxed. During the busiest season of the year, he’s shorthanded. Then Eden shows up looking for work, and Beau believes he’s been rescued. Competent, smart, and beautiful, Eden’s also guarded and quiet. He soon figures out she comes with a boatload of secrets. But Beau can’t seem to help himself from falling for her.
As Christmas Eve approaches, Beau discovers he’ll do anything to keep Eden safe. But who’s going to protect his heart from a woman who can’t seem to trust again?

Review
'Hunter blends a fearful tale of fleeing danger and a heartwarming story of trust and second chances. Readers will thrill with a tingle down the spine when they realize what Eden is facing, and they will cheer as Beau fights to prove he's the man Eden deserves. ... The will-they-won't-they pull will keep readers in suspense to the very end.' * Booklist * 'With her usual deft touch, snappy dialogue, and knack for romantic tension, inspirational romance veteran Hunter will continue to delight romance fans with this first Summer Harbor release.' * Publishers Weekly * 'Hunter blends a fearful tale of fleeing danger and a heartwarming story of trust and second chances. The will-they-won't-they pull will keep readers in suspense to the very end.' * Booklist * 'Hunter's fans will want this one.' * Library Journal * 3 stars. The relationship dynamics among the characters are confusing and frustrating. Since the frustration lasts for more than half the story, it kept this reader from warming up to them. Additionally, suspending disbelief became difficult in many parts of the book. This reader wishes the last quarter of the story, which may offer readers hope in dealing with fear, was given more attention. * Romantic Times *
